Financial abuse is a form of domestic abuse. It is a form of coercive control. It's certainly here in the UK, it is illegal, but it can be dressed up in many, many different ways, not just the overt ways that we would assume definitely this is financial abuse by withholding money, asking for receipts. It can be dressed up as trying to isolate you. You give up your job. You lose any power of control. Nothing is in your name, but it's seen as nothing's in your name because they're trying to help and support you. And I don't want to worry you and stress you out. These are red flags, red flag, warning, warning, warning.
Money should never be a tool for control, but sadly, financial abuse is a reality for many. In this episode of The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast, Caroline Strawson opens up about the covert ways financial abuse can manifest in relationships. From being forced to sign onto debt to having money withheld, these tactics can leave victims feeling trapped and powerless.
Caroline shares her own journey of realisation and escape from financial abuse at the hands of her narcissistic ex-husband. She provides practical advice on identifying red flags and taking steps towards financial independence. This episode is a lifeline for anyone feeling the weight of financial manipulation, offering hope and actionable steps to reclaim control over their finances and their life.
